O Cinema, an independent theater in Miami Beach, is facing eviction threats from the mayor over its screenings of the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land." The mayor criticized the film as "anti-Semitic" and proposed cutting city funding and lease agreements. Despite the mayor's request to cancel screenings, O Cinema has continued to show the film, which has sold out every screening. The theater's leadership argues that the situation raises concerns about censorship and free speech. The Miami Beach City Commission will vote on the mayor's proposal next week. O Cinema's CEO initially considered halting the screenings but later decided to continue, emphasizing the importance of diverse voices in cinema.
